Pure awesome: PDC World Championship Darts
We swear that that is from the actual, official, box art from this incredibly, improbably, weird game. Apparently Oxygen games thought that this title did well enough on PS2 and Wii, and are looking to port this piece of weirdness to a real next-gen console. Leaving aside most of the obvious ripping we could give this thing (its lack of potential for profitability notwithstanding), we really do think that a title like this does have a place somewhere in the 360's library. It's just not on the shelves next to Halo and GTA. Considering Microsoft's penchant for throwing casual things on XBLA, this really feels much more appropriate to that space.

..Just how entertaining can darts on a console be.
Seems silly, i can understand ice hockey, football, rugby..those are sports that some people just suck at in real life, sports that can't be played at the drop of a hat.
But darts? It's throwing the sharp thing at a board, anyone can play it and it's not exactly hard to get a darts board. I can't see how they can make a game about it. o.0

Lol, yeah, isn't it cheaper to buy a Darts board!?

Why buy this? Just pick up GTA IV!

Maybe they are going to use the revolutionary "Flick it" controls that EA came up with... haha... surely that makes it retail game worthy. NOT!

Throw 10,000 180s.

We'll see this pass certification and hit the Dashboard well before Castle Crashers, you know it will..
On a side-note; when did Louie Anderson become a pro dart guy? ;)

Just on the box art alone, this game should be like $5 or an XBLA game. I'll stick with GTA IV
